I
never really say anything about the other team, but I kinda took this personal,"
McCarron said. "I felt disrespected. To say we don't deserve the respect of
calling us Alabama and calling us 'red team' and for their head coach to come
out and say they can play against anybody.

"I don't think we're just anybody. We
won two national championships in a row and we're undefeated right now. So we're
not just anybody."

Cornerback
Deion Belue said he heard the comments as well.

"We
can be the red team, but we're going to be the Navy SEAL red team," Belue said
with a smile. "When we step in, everything stops and we get straight to
business."
